The vibrato on my DRRI doesn't work unless I plug in the footswitch. :( Is this normal? I got the amp used off Craigslist a few months ago so I'm not sure if this normal or not.

All of the original blackface amps were designed to operate like yours except for the Vibro Champ, Princeton and Princeton Reverb whose tremolo circuits were wired to be always "on", regardless of whether a footswitch was used or not. The later silverface Bronco is identical to the Vibro Champ and is configured similarly.
